Action:
Those who believe and do right actions and perform prayer and give the alms, will have their reward with their Lord. They will feel no fear and will know no sorrow. (277)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #277)
Allah does not impose on any self any more than it can stand. For it is what it has earned; against it, what it has brought upon itself. ‘Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make a mistake! Our Lord, do not place on us a load like the one You placed on those before us! Our Lord, do not place on us a load we have not the strength to bear! And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy on us. You are our Master, so help us against the people of the disbelievers.’ (286)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #286)

Allah does not wrong anyone by so much as the smallest speck. And if there is a good deed Allah will multiply it and pay out an immense reward direct from Him. (40)
(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nisa’(Women), Surah # 4: Ayah # 40)
If We had directed them to kill themselves or leave their homes, they would not have done so, except for a very few. But if they had done what they were urged to do, it would have been better for them and far more strengthening. (66) In that case (if they had done what they were urged to do) We would have given them an immense reward from Us. (67) And We should have shown them the Straight Way. (68) Whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger will be with those whom Allah has blessed: the Prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. What excellent company such people are! (69) That is favour from Allah. Allah suffices as a Knower. (70)
(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nisa’(Women), Surah # 4: Ayah # 66-70)
Any good thing that happens to you comes from Allah. Any bad thing that happens to you comes from yourself. We have sent you to mankind as a Messenger. Allah suffices as a Witness. (79)
(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nisa’(Women), Surah # 4: Ayah # 79)
When news of any matter reaches them they spread it about, whether it is of a reassuring or disquieting nature. If they had only referred it to the Messenger and those in command among them, those among them able to discern the truth about it would have had proper knowledge of it. If it were not for Allah’s favour to you and His mercy, all but a very few of you would have followed Satan. (83)
(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nisa’(Women), Surah # 4: Ayah # 83)
Those who join forces for good will receive a reward for it. Those who join forces for evil will be answerable for it. Allah gives all things what they deserve. (85)

Those who produce a good action will receive ten like it. But those who produce a bad action will only be repaid with its equivalent and they will not be wronged. (160)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-An’am (The Cattle), Surah # 6: Ayah # 160)
(Musa said,) ‘Prescribe good for us in this world and the hereafter. We have truly turned to You.’ He said, ‘As for My punishment, I strike with it anyone I will. My mercy extends to all things but I will prescribe it for those who guard against evil and give the alms, and those who believe in Our Signs.’ (156) (Allah said, ‘I will prescribe My mercy for) those who follow the Messenger, the Ummi, whom they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel, commanding them to do right and forbidding them to do wrong, making good things lawful for them and bad things forbidden for them, relieving them of their heavy loads and the chains which were around them. Those who believe in him and honour him and help him, and follow the Light that has been sent down with him, they are the ones who are successful.’ (157)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-A’araf (The Heights), Surah # 7: Ayah # 156-157)
If We had wanted to, We would have raised him up by them. But he gravitated towards the earth and pursued his whims and base desires. His metaphor is that of a dog: if you chase it away, it lolls out its tongue and pants, and if you leave it alone, it lolls out its tongue and pants. That is the metaphor of those who deny Our Signs. So tell the story so that hopefully they will reflect. (176) How evil is the metaphor of those who deny Our Signs. It is themselves that they have badly wronged. (177)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-A’araf (The Heights), Surah # 7: Ayah # 176-177)
The worst of beasts in Allah’s sight are the deaf and dumb who have no intellect. (22)

(26) But as for those who have earned bad actions–a bad action will be repaid with one the like of it. Debasement will darken them. They will have no one to protect them from Allah. It is as if their faces were covered by dark patches of the night. Those are the Companions of the Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (27)
(Holy Quran, Surah Yunus (Jonah), Surah # 10: Ayah # 26-27)

Such is the iron grip of your Lord when He seizes the cities which do wrong. His grip is painful, violent.

(103)
(Holy Quran, Surah Hud (The Prophet Hud), Surah # 11: Ayah # 102-103)

(Holy Quran, Surah Hud (The Prophet Hud), Surah # 11: Ayah # 114-115)
Those who respond to their Lord will receive the best. But as for those who do not respond to Him, even if they owned everything on the earth and the same again with it, they would offer it as a ransom. They will receive an evil Reckoning. Their shelter will be Hell. What an evil restingplace! (18) Is he who knows that what has been sent down to you from your Lord is the truth like him who is blind? It is only people of intelligence who pay heed: (19)

(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Qasas (The Narrations), Surah # 28: Ayah # 83-84)
The repayment of a bad action is one equivalent to it. But if someone pardons and puts things right, his reward is with Allah. Certainly He does not love wrongdoers. (40)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Shura (Consultation), Surah # 42: Ayah # 40)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALLAH:
Mankind was a single community. Then Allah sent out Prophets bringing good news and giving warning, and with them He sent down the Book with truth to decide between people regarding their differences. Only those who were given it differed about it, after the Clear Signs had come to them, envying one another. Then, by His permission, Allah guided those who believed to the truth of that about which they had differed. Allah guides whoever He
wills to a straight path. (213)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #213)
And with Allah's permission they routed them. Dawud killed Goliath and Allah gave him kingship and wisdom and taught him whatever He willed. If it were not for Allah’s driving some people back by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted. But Allah shows favour to all the worlds. (251)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #251)
There is no compulsion where the religion is concerned. Right guidance has become clearly distinct from error. Anyone who rejects false gods and believes in Allah has grasped the Firmest Handhold, which will never give way. Allah is All- Hearing, All-Knowing. (2:256)

(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #257)
Allah does not impose on any self any more than it can stand. For it is what it has earned; against it, what it has brought upon itself. ‘Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make a mistake! Our Lord, do not place on us a load like the one You placed on those before us! Our Lord, do not place on us a load we have not the strength to bear! And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy on us. You are our Master, so help us against the people of the disbelievers.’ (286)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #286)
Allah bears witness that there is no god but Him, as do the angels and the people of knowledge, upholding justice. There is no god but Him, the Almighty, the All-Wise. (18) The religion with Allah is Islam. Those given the Book only differed after knowledge had come to them, envying one another. As for those who reject Allah’s Signs, Allah is swift at reckoning. (19)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al ‘Imran (The Family Of 'Imran, The House Of 'Imran), Surah # 3: Ayah # 18)
O ye who believe! If ye listen to a faction among the People of the Book, they would (indeed) render you apostates after ye have believed!

If We had directed them to kill themselves or leave their homes, they would not have done so, except for a very few. But if they had done what they were urged to do, it would have been better for them and far more strengthening. (66) In that case (if they had done what they were urged to do) We would have given them an immense reward from Us. (67) And We should have shown them the Straight Way.

When Allah desires to guide someone, He expands his breast to Islam. When He desires to misguide someone, He makes his breast narrow and constricted as if he were climbing up into the sky. That is how Allah defiles those who have no faith. (125)

So tell the story so that hopefully they will reflect. (176) How evil is the metaphor of those who deny Our Signs. It is themselves that they have badly wronged. (177)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-A’araf (The Heights), Surah # 7: Ayah # 176-177)
You who believe! If you have fear of Allah, He will give you discrimination and erase your bad actions from you and forgive you. Allah’s favour is indeed immense. (29)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War), Surah # 8: Ayah # 29)
That is because Allah would never change a blessing He has conferred on a people until they had changed what was in themselves. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (53)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War), Surah # 8: Ayah # 53)
And (it is He Who) unified their hearts. Even if you had spent everything on the earth, you could not have unified their hearts. But Allah has unified them. He is Almighty, All-Wise. (63)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War), Surah # 8: Ayah # 63)
It was not for people of Madina, and the desert arabs around them, to remain behind the Messenger of Allah nor to prefer themselves to him. That is because no thirst or weariness or hunger will afflict them in the Way of Allah, nor will they take a single step to infuriate the disbelievers, nor secure any gain from the enemy, without a right action being written down for them because of it. Allah does not let the wage of the good-doers go to waste. (120)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Tawbah (The Repentance) or Bara’ah (The Disavowal), Surah # 9: Ayah # 120)

(Holy Quran, Surah Yunus (Jonah), Surah # 10: Ayah #7-8)

Such is the iron grip of your Lord when He seizes the cities which do wrong. His grip is painful, violent.

(103)
(Holy Quran, Surah Hud (The Prophet Hud), Surah # 11: Ayah # 102-103)
(Yusuf said,) ‘I do not say my self was free from blame. The self indeed commands to evil acts–except for those my Lord has mercy on. My Lord, He is Forgiving, Merciful.’ (53)
(Holy Quran, Surah Yusuf (The Prophet Joseph), Surah # 12: Ayah # 53)
They want you to hasten the bad rather than the good when examples of punishment are there before them in the past. Your Lord has forgiveness for people for their wrongdoing; but your Lord is also severe in retribution. (6)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Ra’d (The Thunder), Surah # 13: Ayah # 6)
It is He Who shows you the lightning, striking fear and bringing hope; it is He Who heaps up the heavy clouds. (12)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Ra’d (The Thunder), Surah # 13: Ayah # 12)
Allah expands provision to anyone He wills and restricts it. They rejoice in the life of this world. Yet the life of this world, compared to the hereafter, is only fleeting enjoyment. (26) Those who disbelieve say, ‘Why has a Sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say: ‘Allah misguides whoever He wills and guides to Himself all who turn to Him.’ (27)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Ra’d (The Thunder), Surah # 13: Ayah # 26)
What then of Him Who is standing over every self seeing everything it does? Yet still they associate others with Allah! Say: ‘Name them! Or would you inform Him of something in the earth He does not know, or are they words which are simply guesswork on your part?’ However, the plotting of those who disbelieve seems good to them and they bar the way. Anyone misguided by Allah has no guide. (33)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Ra’d (The Thunder), Surah # 13: Ayah # 33)
We are enough for you against the mockers. (95)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Hijr, Surah # 15: Ayah # 95)

So We supported those who believed against their enemy and they became victorious. (14)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al Saff (The Battle Array), Surah # 61: Ayah # 14)

(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #277)
Allah does not impose on any self any more than it can stand. For it is what it has earned; against it, what it has brought upon itself. ‘Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make a mistake! Our Lord, do not place on us a load like the one You placed on those before us! Our Lord, do not place on us a load we have not the strength to bear! And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy on us. You are our Master, so help us against the people of the disbelievers.’ (286)

(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nisa’(Women), Surah # 4: Ayah # 40)
If We had directed them to kill themselves or leave their homes, they would not have done so, except for a very few. But if they had done what they were urged to do, it would have been better for them and far more strengthening. (66) In that case (if they had done what they were urged to do) We would have given them an immense reward from Us. (67) And We should have shown them the Straight Way. (68) Whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger will be with those whom Allah has blessed: the Prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. What excellent company such people are! (69) That is favour from Allah. Allah suffices as a Knower. (70)
(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nisa’(Women), Surah # 4: Ayah # 66-70)
Any good thing that happens to you comes from Allah. Any bad thing that happens to you comes from yourself. We have sent you to mankind as a Messenger. Allah suffices as a Witness. (79)
(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nisa’(Women), Surah # 4: Ayah # 79)
When news of any matter reaches them they spread it about, whether it is of a reassuring or disquieting nature. If they had only referred it to the Messenger and those in command among them, those among them able to discern the truth about it would have had proper knowledge of it. If it were not for Allah’s favour to you and His mercy, all but a very few of you would have followed Satan. (83)
(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nisa’(Women), Surah # 4: Ayah # 83)
Those who join forces for good will receive a reward for it. Those who join forces for evil will be answerable for it. Allah gives all things what they deserve. (85)

Those who produce a good action will receive ten like it. But those who produce a bad action will only be repaid with its equivalent and they will not be wronged. (160)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-An’am (The Cattle), Surah # 6: Ayah # 160)
(Musa said,) ‘Prescribe good for us in this world and the hereafter. We have truly turned to You.’ He said, ‘As for My punishment, I strike with it anyone I will. My mercy extends to all things but I will prescribe it for those who guard against evil and give the alms, and those who believe in Our Signs.’ (156) (Allah said, ‘I will prescribe My mercy for) those who follow the Messenger, the Ummi, whom they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel, commanding them to do right and forbidding them to do wrong, making good things lawful for them and bad things forbidden for them, relieving them of their heavy loads and the chains which were around them.

(Holy Quran, Surah Al-A’araf (The Heights), Surah # 7: Ayah # 156-157)
If We had wanted to, We would have raised him up by them. But he gravitated towards the earth and pursued his whims and base desires. His metaphor is that of a dog: if you chase it away, it lolls out its tongue and pants, and if you leave it alone, it lolls out its tongue and pants. That is the metaphor of those who deny Our Signs. So tell the story so that hopefully they will reflect. (176) How evil is the metaphor of those who deny Our Signs. It is themselves that they have badly wronged. (177)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-A’araf (The Heights), Surah # 7: Ayah # 176-177)
The worst of beasts in Allah’s sight are the deaf and dumb who have no intellect. (22)

(26) But as for those who have earned bad actions–a bad action will be repaid with one the like of it. Debasement will darken them. They will have no one to protect them from Allah. It is as if their faces were covered by dark patches of the night. Those are the Companions of the Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (27)

Such is the iron grip of your Lord when He seizes the cities which do wrong. His grip is painful, violent.

(103)
(Holy Quran, Surah Hud (The Prophet Hud), Surah # 11: Ayah # 102-103)

(Holy Quran, Surah Hud (The Prophet Hud), Surah # 11: Ayah # 114-115)
Those who respond to their Lord will receive the best. But as for those who do not respond to Him, even if they owned everything on the earth and the same again with it, they would offer it as a ransom. They will receive an evil Reckoning. Their shelter will be Hell. What an evil restingplace! (18) Is he who knows that what has been sent down to you from your Lord is the truth like him who is blind? It is only people of intelligence who pay heed: (19)

(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Qasas (The Narrations), Surah # 28: Ayah # 83-84)

(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Shura (Consultation), Surah # 42: Ayah # 40)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALLAH:
Mankind was a single community. Then Allah sent out Prophets bringing good news and giving warning, and with them He sent down the Book with truth to decide between people regarding their differences. Only those who were given it differed about it, after the Clear Signs had come to them, envying one another. Then, by His permission, Allah guided those who believed to the truth of that about which they had differed. Allah guides whoever He
wills to a straight path. (213)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #213)
And with Allah's permission they routed them. Dawud killed Goliath and Allah gave him kingship and wisdom and taught him whatever He willed. If it were not for Allah’s driving some people back by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted. But Allah shows favour to all the worlds. (251)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #251)
There is no compulsion where the religion is concerned. Right guidance has become clearly distinct from error. Anyone who rejects false gods and believes in Allah has grasped the Firmest Handhold, which will never give way. Allah is All- Hearing, All-Knowing. (2:256)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #256)
Allah is the Protector of those who believe. He brings them out of the darkness into the light. But those who disbelieve have false gods as protectors. They take them from the light into the darkness. Those are the Companions of the Fire remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (2:257)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #257)
Allah does not impose on any self any more than it can stand. For it is what it has earned; against it, what it has brought upon itself. ‘Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make a mistake! Our Lord, do not place on us a load like the one You placed on those before us! Our Lord, do not place on us a load we have not the strength to bear! And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy on us. You are our Master, so help us against the people of the disbelievers.’ (286)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #286)
Allah bears witness that there is no god but Him, as do the angels and the people of knowledge, upholding justice. There is no god but Him, the Almighty, the All-Wise. (18) The religion with Allah is Islam. Those given the Book only differed after knowledge had come to them, envying one another. As for those who reject Allah’s Signs, Allah is swift at reckoning. (19)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al ‘Imran (The Family Of 'Imran, The House Of 'Imran), Surah # 3: Ayah # 18)
O ye who believe! If ye listen to a faction among the People of the Book, they would (indeed) render you apostates after ye have believed! (100) How can you disbelieve, when Allah’s Signs are recited to you and the Messenger is there among you? Whoever holds fast to Allah has been guided to a straight path. (101)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al ‘Imran (The Family Of 'Imran, The House Of 'Imran), Surah # 3: Ayah # 100-101)

If We had directed them to kill themselves or leave their homes, they would not have done so, except for a very few.

(66) In that case (if they had done what they were urged to do) We would have given them an immense reward from Us. (67) And We should have shown them the Straight Way.

(Holy Quran, Surah An-Nisa’(Women), Surah # 4: Ayah # 116)
When Allah desires to guide someone, He expands his breast to Islam. When He desires to misguide someone, He makes his breast narrow and constricted as if he were climbing up into the sky. That is how Allah defiles those who have no faith. (125)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-An’am (The Cattle), Surah # 6: Ayah # 125)
To all are degrees (or ranks) according to their deeds: for thy Lord is not unmindful of anything that they do. (132)

‘Am I to desire someone other than Allah as a judge when it is He Who has sent down the Book to you clarifying everything?’ Those We have given the Book know it has been sent down from your Lord with truth, so on no account be among the doubters. (114)

(Holy Quran, Surah Al-A’araf (The Heights), Surah # 7: Ayah # 176-177)
You who believe! If you have fear of Allah, He will give you discrimination and erase your bad actions from you and forgive you. Allah’s favour is indeed immense. (29)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War), Surah # 8: Ayah # 29)
That is because Allah would never change a blessing He has conferred on a people until they had changed what was in themselves. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (53)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War), Surah # 8: Ayah # 53)
And (it is He Who) unified their hearts. Even if you had spent everything on the earth, you could not have unified their hearts. But Allah has unified them. He is Almighty, All-Wise. (63)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War), Surah # 8: Ayah # 63)
It was not for people of Madina, and the desert arabs around them, to remain behind the Messenger of Allah nor to prefer themselves to him. That is because no thirst or weariness or hunger will afflict them in the Way of Allah, nor will they take a single step to infuriate the disbelievers, nor secure any gain from the enemy, without a right action being written down for them because of it. Allah does not let the wage of the good-doers go to waste. (120)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Tawbah (The Repentance) or Bara’ah (The Disavowal), Surah # 9: Ayah # 120)

As for those who do not expect to meet Us and are content with the life of this world and at rest in it, and those who are heedless of Our Signs, (7) their shelter will be the Fire because of what they earned. (8)
(Holy Quran, Surah Yunus (Jonah), Surah # 10: Ayah #7-8)
If Allah were to hasten evil for people the way they try to hasten good, their term would already have been completed for them. We abandon those who do not expect to meet Us to wander blindly in their excessive insolence. (11)
(Holy Quran, Surah Yunus (Jonah), Surah # 10: Ayah # 11)
Such is the iron grip of your Lord when He seizes the cities which do wrong. His grip is painful, violent.

(103)
(Holy Quran, Surah Hud (The Prophet Hud), Surah # 11: Ayah # 102-103)
(Yusuf said,) ‘I do not say my self was free from blame. The self indeed commands to evil acts–except for those my Lord has mercy on. My Lord, He is Forgiving, Merciful.’ (53)
(Holy Quran, Surah Yusuf (The Prophet Joseph), Surah # 12: Ayah # 53)
They want you to hasten the bad rather than the good when examples of punishment are there before them in the past. Your Lord has forgiveness for people for their wrongdoing; but your Lord is also severe in retribution. (6)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Ra’d (The Thunder), Surah # 13: Ayah # 6)
It is He Who shows you the lightning, striking fear and bringing hope; it is He Who heaps up the heavy clouds. (12)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Ra’d (The Thunder), Surah # 13: Ayah # 12)
Allah expands provision to anyone He wills and restricts it. They rejoice in the life of this world. Yet the life of this world, compared to the hereafter, is only fleeting enjoyment. (26) Those who disbelieve say, ‘Why has a Sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say: ‘Allah misguides whoever He wills and guides to Himself all who turn to Him.’ (27)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Ra’d (The Thunder), Surah # 13: Ayah # 26)
What then of Him Who is standing over every self seeing everything it does? Yet still they associate others with Allah! Say: ‘Name them! Or would you inform Him of something in the earth He does not know, or are they words which are simply guesswork on your part?’ However, the plotting of those who disbelieve seems good to them and they bar the way. Anyone misguided by Allah has no guide. (33)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Ra’d (The Thunder), Surah # 13: Ayah # 33)
We are enough for you against the mockers. (95)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Hijr, Surah # 15: Ayah # 95)

(Holy Quran, Surah Fatir (The Originator of the Creation), Surah # 35: Ayah # 45)

You who believe! Be helpers of Allah as ‘Isa son of Maryam said to the Disciples, ‘Who will be my helpers to Allah?’ The Disciples said, ‘We will be the helpers of Allah.’ One faction of the tribe of Israel believed and the other disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their enemy and they became victorious. (14)
(Holy Quran, Surah Al Saff (The Battle Array), Surah # 61: Ayah # 14)
